Why can I never get a straight answer from a man? We’re planning a trip to Guernsey (an island) dead early tomorrow morning, so I need to know what time we have to leave so I can set my alarm.
Me: What time do we have to leave home?
Piers: No earlier than an hour before the time we have to be there – which is an hour before we sail (6 am).
Took me 11 minutes of questioning, during which time I got more riddles, before I received the answer: 4 am.
Piers “invented” a really delicious Asian snack combo: Prawn crackers with hoisin sauce! So proud of him!
I also found this awesome lemongrass-flavoured prawn crackers at Tesco. From Netherlands, but makers were Indoneisan settlers. Tastes so great when you dip into hoisin sauce (sparingly)!
Yeah I know my photos are missing from my blog header. Looks very funny, doesn’t it?
Nanny Wen (aka Buggy Wen aka Davienne) says it reminds her of Harry Potter’s moving picture people.
Guess my photos are taking a break. They’ve gone into hiding because it’s been raining a lot in England and the weather forecast says it’s going to hail tomorrow.
IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER!
Crazy or not.
I thought I’d be in discomfort for a year because I was finding it impossible to get used to Invisalign in my mouth. But just 11 days into it, I hardly feel it anymore.
Was playing on my iPad before bed last night when I suddenly couldn’t feel plastic in my mouth and for one horrifying moment, thought that I had forgotten to put my aligners back on after dinner, which was ages ago.
Turned out it’s just my mouth has started to adapt.
Quote of the day
Me: I want a pet duckling!
Piers: LOL why!!!
Me: Cos they’re so cute.
Piers: All baby things are cute! Except babies.
A transport provider in the UK just sent me an e-mail asking me to take part in an online survey to help improve services.
So I go there and answer two questions (age and last time I used the service) and they say:
“Thank you for your time. Unfortunately, you do not qualify for the survey as this time around we are looking to survey our more senior customers (over 60) only.”
WTF fail.
Was googling the difference between biscuits and cookies and got linked to a Yahoo! Answers page. This guy’s answer made me LOL.
“The difference between the biscuit and the cookie is the Atlantic.
Plus, American biscuit more like a savory scone
Plus English biscuit is an American cookie.
Plus English or American cookie is in your computer to do stuff that no one really understands.”
Being too ambitious (or greedy). Two heaped bowls of ricotta and spinach tortelloni in bolognese sauce, with six sausages and three baby zucchinis thrown into the mix. A roll of garlic bread and a bottle of wine. Delicious!
Yay I got white tulips! My favouritest flowers. :)
England has the most beautiful flowers. Tulips and roses in white with pale pink. Gerberas in strawberry milk pink. Makes me happy!
Just read in detail about foot binding in ancient China. I always thought they just wrapped up the feet during infancy to stop them from growing.
But, no! They wait till the girl is 4-7 years old, then break her toes and arch bones so that the toes can curl under the sole. Without anaesthesia.
After wrapping the monstrous creation tightly, the girl is then forced to walk on her broken feet so her weight can help crush them into shape. The feet are crushed and rebound daily for like two years! WTF is wrong with people?!

Hmmm… Does your dinner party refer to this Sunday’s one? If that’s so, I can start looking for folks to take over your tix (and your friends’ if needed).
Anyway, I’ll text you later today to confirm.
That’s a wonderful week you are having and enjoying. Congratulations. Hope the New Year bring even greater joy. :)
I’m happy for u :D
Alvinaloy: Hehe… yeah, sorry I wasn’t able to go :( Was very looking forward to it!
Sunny: Thanks! :) I wish they wouldn’t pack my schedule like that, but it’s better than nothing, I guess. Haha.
Ruok: :)
Wah lau, you are damn funny. Thank you for entertaining me at work and helping me to look busy though it is very difficult not to smile and everyone knows that no one smiles while doing work. So no one things i am busy doing work but just busy acting busy. So damn you! Damn you for having such a damn funny blog.
No problem. Hope Goonfather and friend, and Kevin and Eileen enjoyed themselves at the ‘party’ more than I did ;) I thought the food was just ok. Cold food were ok but the hot food… Well, shishamo and tempura were like room temperature when they reached my table :(
Eek! I hate shishamo and tempura at room tempurature! -_-
i got lemming for jap food ~~
QY = 2006 Wang Wang Ger of Studygroup!! ^_^
HRH: Wow, since you might someday be a king or something like that, can I book you first as my personal patron? lol. I don’t think I’m the damn funny one, though. I think you are! :P
Alvin: All I heard from them is that they ate till they wanted to burst and the food wasn’t bad. I’m still sad I missed it.
Wang Wang: Too early to say lah. :P It’s actually quite usual for me, in the past two years, I will get very busy periods of time, and then it will slowly peter off until I am damn free, and then a few months later it’ll start again. Sigh.
Sorry, i don’t really do the personal actress patron thing. I’m more into favouring fan dancers and guzheng players with flowy robes. Anyway i am very pleased with my station in life. 4th in line to the Throne begats importance without all the stress that comes with being a likely succesor. The king plus 3 of my brothers have to die before i have to do real work. That’s also why i am Patron and not Minister of Culture & the Arts. Ministers have to do real work. Patrons on the other hand get handfed grapes and enjoy free courtside seats. Okay i got to go, the boss is coming my way and i owe him a ppt presentation.
